An excellent cooled semen option for breeders seeking size, substance, and trainability with an interesting blend of FEI lines from both German and Dutch breeding. At his Hanoverian licensing, Bingotti earned multiple scores of 8 and a highlight score of 9 for saddle position. Bingotti earned his lifetime approval with the AHS through his performance record. Bingotti has finished Reserve Champion at USDF Regionals for Second Level twice, was Regional Champion at Fourth Level, and has earned top ribbons at Regionals for Prix St. Georges and Intermediate. Bingotti has twice finished in the top ten at the US Dressage Finals.  With his impressive stature and correct conformation, Bingotti was also the Stallion Champion and Reserve Grand Champion of Dressage at Devon.

Bingotti’s sire Bugatti earned a score of 140 points in the dressage portion of his 100-day test, receiving scores of 9 on character, rideability, temperament, and all three gaits.  He competed at the Bundescampionat, FEI World Championships for Young Horses, and CDI competitions at Prix St. Georges and Intermediaire. His offspring are well regarded for their characters and rideability. Bingotti’s dam Wolkenfee is by the Grand Prix stallion Krack C who had an exceptionally successful career at Grand Prix under Anky Van Grunsven, including a top ten finish at the World Equestrian Games, and went on to sire numerous licensed stallions and FEI competitors.

Mare Information
Mare Management Reminders

At Hilltop Farm we want to work closely with you and your veterinarian to ensure a successful breeding season and are available for questions at any time. The following information includes some basic suggestions as well as reminders on a few requirements for your breeding contract.

A Breeding Soundness Exam including a uterine culture is recommended, but not required, for all mares prior to breeding. If a mare fails to settle after two breeding cycles, Hilltop Farm will require a culture and cytology to be done at that time prior to any additional shipments of semen. We always recommend your vet checking your mare post-breeding to confirm ovulation. If a mare hangs on to a follicle longer than expected, it can be less expensive to ship additional semen than it would be to breed a second complete cycle. Getting your mare settled in foal is just the beginning. We recommend multiple pregnancy checks to help prevent cases of twins, misdiagnosed pregnancies, or lost time in the breeding season. The following schedule is what we recommend; only the first and fourth checks however are required by your breeding contract.

  • 1st check (Required): 14-16 days post ovulation – optimum time for vet to pinch off a twin if more than a single ovulation is noted.
  • 2nd check (Recommended): 28 days post ovulation – to confirm a viable pregnancy as the heartbeat normally appears by day 25.
  • 3rd check (Recommended): 35-40 days post ovulation – to confirm maintained pregnancy prior to endometrial cup formation. Mares that slip foals early may not come back into heat.
  • 4th check (Required): 55-60 days post ovulation – final confirmation of pregnancy in its critical first trimester.

Following your mare’s 14-16 day pregnancy check, please have your vet complete the Mare Breeding Passport received with your semen shipment and return it to Hilltop Farm. Any changes in pregnancy status after the 14-16 day check must be communicated to Hilltop Farm immediately. This Passport is used in all stallion reports to various breed registries and is used to generate a Breeding Certificate so that you can register your foal.

Registration Information

 Your mare’s registration and approval play just as important of a role as the stallion’s approvals when determining registration options for your foal. Please keep in mind that in order to register your foal with a specific association, your mare may first need to be presented to that registry for approval. In addition to the registries a stallion is approved with, there may be additional registration options based on your mare’s eligibility and the stallion’s credentials. If you are confused at all on registration options for a potential foal, please speak with Hilltop Farm and your breed registry PRIOR to booking your breeding.
